Can we get some cutlery?
I would suggest these:
How about some disposable ones in addition, just in case?
@boldaslove good thinking, do you think a stand is better, or a few pot?
At home I have a Kilner type jar with them all mixed up inside, if we got a few of these we could have one for each type, and then coffee, tea, sugar, etc… ?
Like this?

What do you think?
@pip What do you think of the ones in Costcutter, they’re a bit less sturdy but you get loads in a bag. We used to have some knocking about, maybe we need a container to keep them in on the side?
I thought the rack was a good idea.
But if you want these let’s get them.
That would mean we could get more than one set maybe.
And as you say have matching coffee blah blah.
(Hate IKEA but fine).
I would prefer metal. Plastic sucks. They break and the not good for environment.
Maybe one (12 sets) or two (24 sets) of these:

And like 8 (4 cutlery + 1 tea +1 coffee + 1 sugar + 1 extra) jug thingies. Hopefully they’ll fit in the jugs.
Can you order them?
I have loads of spare cutlery at home as a result of living in 5-6 student hovels since the turn of the century. I’ll bring some in.

People are going to take the official Makerspace cutlery home, people are going to bring in new cutlery, we’re going to lose all the tea spoons - in short we will end up with a random selection of Makerspace cutlery. I don’t think this is a bad thing but it does mean Tom’s pots are a better idea than a rack. Although something that can drain if people put wet cutlery in might be better?
Still can’t believe we’re debating cutlery…

Is there any sense in attempting to drill draining holes in the Kilner jars?
I haven’t had an issue when putting wet cutlery in the one at home, it’ never ends up sitting in water.
I quite like the idea of just having those metal draining things. We could have a few of those.
One less step in the process.
- Wash them up.
- Put them in drainer.
Or
- Wash them up.
- Drain them.
- Put them in container.
Whatever makes things easier is good. Is more likely to actually happen if it’s easier.
Red ones:
I don’t really mind, but I think they will fall out those with big gaps like that, and metal ones tend to go rusty pretty quickly.
Yeah those wire things become manky grot havens in short order.
I also keep my random cutlery in a big glass jar and it works just fine.
If someone had just taken a tenner from the laser cutter box, bought some cutlery and left it in the kitchen, nobody would have bat an eyelid
If it s a job that needs doing perhaps one of our Croydon friends can pop round IKEA?
Seriously, I’ll drop a crap-tonne of cutlery around at the weekend.

I think we’re talking about storage of, but great thanks Pete!
U can buy IKEA stuff off eBay or some stuff on there website now I think.
Re: taking a tenner. theres no money left in donations box. Haven’t checked laser cutter.
Could we have done moneies for consumables?
FYI: We’ve put a bit in the Directors Meeting about having @role budgets specifically for consumables.
That’s great. I’ll read it some time.
It would be great to have some cash in the space though to buy bog roll and washing up sponges without having to go threw any red tape.
Could I suggest maybe putting a pony in the donations box. Seems a relatively easy way to get something done.
…Could by some masks too.
I think it might make more sense for us to take the Hackspace approach of buying en mass a load of stuff we need rather than buying expensive toilet roll 4 at a time for example.
It defiantly makes more sense and is more economical.
Just have to wait for someone to do it…
In the mean time we still have no masks and the paper is running out.
